Summary:
- This article discusses a new mission called "Seabed 2030" that aims to map the entire seafloor of the world's oceans by the year 2030.
- The mission will use advanced technology, including autonomous underwater vehicles and remote-operated vehicles, to visually explore and collect data from over 10,000 separate locations on the deep ocean floor.
- Mapping the seafloor is important for understanding ocean currents, climate change, and the distribution of marine life, as well as for identifying potential resources and hazards on the ocean floor.
